heh, i know the answers to all of the questions since most of them i've already done.

i remember one or two of these were in azumanga daioh...most are pretty easy tho, to be honest

These are pretty challenging, I can't figure out number 17.

Some are easy and some are challenging.

17 is a challenging one for example, but 1 for example is pretty easy.... I think.

Once a circle missed a wedge1. The circle wanted to be whole, so it went around2 looking

for its missing piece. But because it was incomplete3 and therefore could roll only very

slowly, it admired the flowers along the way. It chatted with worms. It enjoyed the

sunshine. It found lots of different pieces, but none of them fit. So it left them all by

the side of the road and kept on searching. Then one day the circle found a piece that fit

perfectly. It was so happy. Now it could be whole, with nothing missing. It incorporated4

the missing piece into itself and began to roll. Now that it was a perfect circle, it

could roll very fast, too fast to notice the flowers or talking to the worms. When it

realized how different the world seemed when it rolled so wow gold
it stopped, left its found piece by the side of the road and rolled slowly

away.
The lesson of the story, I suggested, was that in some strange sense we are more

whole when we are missing something. The man who has everything is in some ways a poor

man. He will never know what it feels like to yearn5, wow power leveling,
to hope, to nourish6 his soul with the dream of something better.

He will never know the experience of having someone who loves him give him something he

has always wanted or never had.
There is a wholeness7 about the person who has come to terms with his limitations,

who has been brave enough to let go of is unrealistic dreams and not feel like a failure

for doing so. There is a wholeness about the man or woman who has learned that he or she

is strong enough to go through8 a tragedy9 and survive, who can lose someone and still

feel like a complete person.
Life is not a trap10 set for us by God so that he can condemn11 us fo* **iling. Life

is not a spelling bee12, where no matter how many words you’ve gotten right, you’re dis

-qualified13 if you make one mistake. Life is more like a base-ball season, where even the

best team loses one-third of its games and even the worst team has its days of

brilliance14. Our goal is to win more games than we lose. When we accept that imperfection15 is part of being human,world of warcraft power leveling,and when

we can continue rolling through life and appreciate it, we will have achieved16 a

wholeness that others can only aspire17 to. That, I believe, is what God asks of us—not

“Be perfect”, not “Don’t even make a mistake”, but “Be whole.”
If we are brave enough to love, strong enough to forgive18, generous enough to

rejoice19 in another’s happiness, and wise enough to know there is enough to know there

is enough love to go around for us all, then we can achieve a fulfillment20 that no other

living creature21 will ever know.
